The denim jacket comes out of the closet Spring invites us to (re)discover a comfortable and versatile outerwear

The denim jacket is for many a true cult object. More than just a piece of clothing hanging on a hanger, it's the ally to choose in countless situations, especially during the mid-season. It has never left the catwalks and, above all, has never left the collective imagination, worn by movie stars and music celebrities, not just country ones. Regardless of one's favorite source of inspiration - from photos showing a young Madonna wearing this garment with enviable ease to Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - what is certain is that the denim jacket remains a versatile piece full of surprises, even after all this time.

When to Wear a Denim Jacket?

The denim jacket speaks of leisure time, walks downtown or in the park, but also of rock concerts. It can be the perfect solution to give character to a classic white t-shirt, perhaps accidentally forgotten at the bottom of a drawer, as well as to shape a classic combination with an irresistibly vintage flavor, namely the total denim look. This latter trend, if handled wisely (see under accessories), still has a whole lot to say. In case the denim jacket is still missing from our wardrobe, we can comfortably switch to a shirt, ideal for a situation of complete relaxation both in terms of attitude and clothing.

The Long Denim Jacket, for Those Who Want to Stand Out

First and foremost, the denim jacket is versatile. It comes in a large number of versions, each capable of bringing out an aspect of our (and its) personality. A practical example can be mentioned by citing the version proposed by Givenchy for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. This interpretation sees the denim jacket lengthening up to thigh level, wrapping around the hips. For those looking for a determined yet soft look, a potential excellent interpretative key can be found in the '90s era outfits of Drew Barrymore. More recently, Selena Gomez has shown the more spontaneous side of denim.

The Denim Jacket with a Hood

Ryan Reynolds has shown us the refined side of the denim jacket with a mix of layering, worn over a cardigan. To continue the journey between photographs, screens, and catwalks, let's recall the denim jacket that made an appearance on the Spring/Summer 2024 runway of Stella McCartney. The chic versions available on the market allow you to create a street style and sophistication combo, while for those who prefer a sporty approach, it's suggested not to underestimate the detail that makes the difference, namely the hood. As an alternative to the hoodie, the denim jacket, when integrated in this way, pairs excellently with white jeans in any fit, from straight to boyfriend. It works great with sneakers, whether low or ankle-high: what matters is to wear them with pride.

White Denim Jacket: For a Bright Spring

The denim jacket, in shades of blue and blue, pairs perfectly with white. To go beyond, you could think of buying and wearing it directly in white. The beautiful season invites you to experiment with the light-toned jacket combined with colorful and vitaminic accessories, true miniature contemporary works of art, such as jewels, oversized sunglasses or the double belt, capable of keeping a playfulness alive that should never be overlooked, not even in outfit construction.
